Cape Cod Land Clearing

Professional land clearing is a crucial first step in the development of a commercial or residential property.

Cape Cod Firewood’s Land Clearing division has the experience and specialized gear to complete your project in a timely fashion regardless of the size or scope. We do it all: developments, new house lots, right-of-way maintenance, road development, shopping malls, farms and horse stables, subdivisions, wetlands, backyard expansions, swimming pools, and general views. Although terrain can prove to be as unpredictable as the weather, we have never turned down a project. We run a full-service fleet of heavy duty, track-driven gear handled by highly trained operators with expertise in the profession.

WHAT WE DO

Clearing and grubbing: After a site has been surveyed and marked, vegetation and surface debris are removed by clearing and grubbing the site. Clearing refers to the removal of all vegetation, while grubbing is the removal of roots that may remain in the soil. This includes the removal of all logs, brush, and debris, as well as grinding and removal of stumps. Once completed, the site is ready for grading and drain installation.

Select tree removal: Selective tree removal helps preserve your desired site design and helps to enhance the overall character of a site.

Right-of-way clearing: We handle clearing operations for utilities, gas, petroleum, water, electricity, fiber-optic cable, and other service lines.

Brush removal: Fast and efficient brush removal to keep your project on schedule, or for general property upkeep. Brush mowing is a perfect option for preparing your project site for construction access or for mass land clearing/grading operations.
